low heat/pressure

Hi there

To get a hotish shower, I have to turn the dial close to its maximum which means the pressure drops quite low. I have changed the solenoid as was reading only just above 3kohms but this hasn't helped really. There appears to be no leaks and I have cleaned out the shower head...any ideas what I can check/replace to better the power and temp?

Ps it's a neptune solo 8.6 shower

 It may be a faultyelement in the heating tank (there are two, three in most 10kw showers) you cancheck them with a multi meter you should have a reading of around 12>18ohms.

If you have power to the elementsand no heat it's probably the elements, no power to the elements thenit's probably a micro switch.

If you don’t have amultimeter  we sell them at around £10 each with a link to an on line guideon how to use them for checking and testing the various parts of your shower.

 

Apart from helping to fix yourshower, they are really useful for checking you have a power supply toappliances, for checking fuses, letting you know much power you have left inbatteries

(so you know if they are dud ornot)  and lots of other jobs, in short they are well  worth the £10.
